Personally, I find it difficult to take Twitter seriously. It seems like more of a kids toy than a business tool. Something like a blogspot account would make a lot more sense.
That's the kind of "marketing-led" response I was hoping to hear.But the UK National Rail system now uses Tweets to tell customers about disruptions on the trains, and several major UK government departments and news organisations use it for announcements and "Breaking News".
So has it become "respectable" yet? -- Roland Perry
